chapters on extending types, operators, and aggregates into the extending
functions chapter. Move the information on how to call table functions
into the queries chapter. Remove some outdated information that is
already present in a better form in other parts of the documentation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).
Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".
Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.
which covers some recent installation schemes.
Add Mandrake installation layout to directories to check for stylesheets.
Allow documentation build to proceed if stylesheets were not found, in case
the stylesheets might be found through the SGML catalog mechanism.
Mention SQL9x precision syntax for date/time types.
Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).
(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)
Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.
system. Some systems did not understand the 'l' section, and in general
it wasn't entirely appropriate.
On SCO OpenServer, the man pages won't be installed at all until someone
figures out their man system.
adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long
description columns. Should probably shrink those columns to be more
concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes.
HTML:
* make .html the default extension
* allow use of CSS stylesheet ("stylesheet.css", not included)
* make <set> TOC two levels deep
* put time of creation into meta header
Print:
* make print output justified by default
* footnotes at bottom of each page
* allow TeX to hyphenate
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
